Considered a living fossil.
Horseshoe crabs resemble crustaceans, but belong to a separate subphylum, Chelicerata, and are therefore more closely related to arachnids e.g spiders and scorpions. The earliest horseshoe crab fossils are found in strata from the late Ordovician period, roughly 450 million years ago.
Took this photo while I spent a week at the shore.
This critter was washed ashore (deceased) after a storm.

Horseshoe crabs are weird but coolio. I still remember the first time I saw a live one, mind blown.
